[UNOFFICIAL BRIEFING: THE REAL YELLOW PAGES]
SUBJECT: Earning Your Cal (Or, Where to Spend Your Cal Before You Die)

In this city, you are what you earn. Without a steady flow of Cal, you’re just a ghost waiting to happen — another frozen corpse the scrubbers will sweep up by morning. A gig isn’t just about the credits; it’s about survival. It’s the first step to turning your name from a whisper into something with weight.

A steady job does more than just keep you fed and warm.

• It gets your name circulating on the street, boosting your Rep on the Interlink.
• It plugs you into the network of Fixers, rivals, and potential allies who pass through the city’s hubs.
• It puts you where the action is. The city’s teleport grid prioritizes active businesses, meaning the busiest shops are where the real stories are found.

The opportunities are scattered across the wreckage. Inside the Bastion, you can sling synth-noodles, stitch chrome onto flesh, or broker deals in a shadowy bar. Just outside the walls, in the desperate markets of Rust or the rare havens like the Hollow Hearth, you can trade with the Outlanders who bring the real, tangible resources into this city’s food chain.

Below is the ledger of known operations. Find your place in the flow. Or get washed away.
